PURPOSE This study investigated the effect of Melissa officinalis extract on laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in a rat model. The mechanism by which M. officinalis extract acted was also investigated. METHODS Experimental CNV was induced by laser photocoagulation in Brown Norway rats. An active fraction of the Melissa leaf extract was orally administered (50 or 100 mg/kg/day) ...

We prove Iqbal’s conjecture on the relationship between the free energy of closed string theory in local toric geometry and the Wess-ZuminoWitten model. This is achieved by first reformulating the calculations of the free energy by localization techniques in terms of suitable Feynman rule, then exploiting a realization of the Feynman rule by free bosons. We also use a formula of Hodge integrals...

Abstract. We prove some combinatorial results related to a formula on Hodge integrals conjectured by Mariño and Vafa. These results play important roles in the proof and applications of this formula by the author jointly with ChiuChu Melissa Liu and Kefeng Liu. We also compare with some related results on Hurwitz numbers and obtain some closed expressions for the generating series of Hurwitz nu...

results the results of repeated measures test revealed a significant reduction (p < 0.001) in pms symptoms. overall, the mean score of pms intensity in the intervention group was 42.56 + 15.73 before the intervention and changed to 32.72 ± 13.24, 30.02 ± 12.08, and 13.90 ± 10.22 at the three consecutive months after the intervention, respectively (p = 0.001). conclusions m. officinalis capsules...

in recent decades, enormous use of chromium in different industries as well as water and soil pollution by those industries caused serious concern. toxic impact of chromium on the growth of plants includes changes in the process of germination and root, stem and leaves’ growth. chromium also has harmful impact on the plants’ physiological processes such as photosynthesis. on the other hand, iro...

introduction: diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder of the endocrine system leading to increased blood glucose concentration in the patients. as a basic treatment for managing the blood glucose level, insulin or hypoglycemic medications are used but herbal medicines are more favored. the design of this research project was to study the therapeutic effect of hydroalcoholic extract of melissa...

The end of monkey research?” ask Melissa Suran and Howard Wolinsky (2009) against a background of growing concern over the use of primates in research. Indeed, the one factor that might have the biggest impact on primate research in Europe is the revision of Directive 86/609, which will greatly affect the work of many scientists. It is therefore in the interest of all researchers to get an unbi...
